• Focus on Uganda Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)
• Collaboration with Government: The Ugandan experience

Other subjects to be explored include:

• Staff capacity and Staff Retention Study
• System failure
• Flexibility with donors
• Work with The Assessment Capacities Project (ACAPS)
• The Consortium of British Humanitarian Agencies (CBHA) Training
• The work of World Vision, Oxfam, Save the Children, CRS and CARE in the region.

There is still time to register for a free place and please read about the other conferences in the ECBinter-active series. Our final conference is in Bangladesh 28 and 29 February.
